"That explains why you were heading from the north part of town then." Zara said. "But I think you went a little to far south. The school is that a way." She said pointing over his shoulder.

He stopped the car then made a U-turn with a sigh. "right….. sorry I must be tired" He says with a little laugh.
He was mostly shaking at the thought of what she's probably going to do to him. As far as he knew, everyone had only two sides. One minute they were nice and the other they were the devil themselves.
Zara chuckled.
"How tired are you?" She asked as she dug through her bag, looking for something but obviously failing to find it.
"uhm…. i didnt get much sleep last night. About…. two hours? If that says anything"
He says with a little laugh, trying to distract himself from his own thoughts.
Zara eventually found what she was searching for in her bag. A lighter. She absentmindedly flicked it on and off. "Why?" She asked. Well it´s not like she could say she was doing much better. She had around the same amount. She had to finish her homework.
Unlike Zara, he always finished his homework way before he got home. He saved that time for trying to hide the fact that he had got beaten up a few hours before.
"Uhm….i just couldn't sleep…"
He says a little quieter than usual. That was a lie of course.
Zara looked at him. "Don't lie to me. I can tell when someone is spouting BS." She said as she kept flicking the lighter. Once she played a game of chicken with herself to see how close she could get her hand to the fire.
"It's none of your business….and….please stop playing with fire in my car. It's brand new…"
He says paying attention to the road. His head started to pound and he immediately regretted telling her that it's none of her business. Now mentally preparing himself for a best-down, he sped up the car so he would get to school sooner. Hopefully, if she did beat him up, it wouldn't be in his car.
Zara gave him a look and lit the lighter again. She decided to let it go…for now. She put the lighter in her pocket and sat back.
"Sorry," he says quietly as they stop at a red light, a big semi driving in front of them. A train going off in the distance, the loud sound ringing in his ears, making him plug his ears as he took his hands off of the steering wheel. It was noticeable that it hurt him. Like all loud things.
Zara noticed this. She was good at spotting peoples triggers. One of her favorite subjects was Physiology and she often had intense conversations with her brother on it. Her mind immediately went to past trauma and she began thinking abuse, whether family or otherwise.
“You good?“ She asked, looking at him.
His head popped up from his forehead was pressed against the top handle of the steering wheel. He looked at her, then the light as it turned green and he hit the gas.
"Uh….yeah. It's nothing. Sorry"
He says bracing himself for a punch in the face once again.
Zara furrowed her eyebrows and leaned a bit closer to him.
“Are you sure about that?“ She asked, not believing him. He kept acting like a puppy that was about to be hit.
"Uhm….yeah," he says hesitantly as the train passed, another loud horn sounding through his ears. He tensed up, but he didn't cover his ears, hoping she would notice.
Zara got a bit angry at this but she would talk about it later. She ran her tongue piercing across her teeth, making a small clinking sound.
The train stopped and the light turned green. He quickly hit the gas and made his way to the school, slightly biting his lip as his eyes darted across the road. He normally wasnt like this. He was usually very calm and collected, and he might even be singing along to the radio as he drove. But he usually never had anyone hanging out with him. Though they weren't actually hanging out.
He just was never around people much.
Zara fiddled around with the lighter, though never actually lighting it. She wanted to get to school early. She had to check in with Ava and her bro before she headed to class.
They soon pulled up to the high school, parking and unbuckling his seat belt, he turned to her as he opened his door.
"Uhm…..i hope youre not late for anything. Sorry"
Zara quickly got out.
“Not too late. We'll talk later.“ She said, not looking as she rushed in to find Ava and Alyx. She went to their favorite meeting spot, outside of the science classroom. Ava, a brown haired girl, and her brother. Alyx turned to her and grinned.
“Did you forget I had robotics this morning? How late did you leave?“ He asked.
“Really late. I caught a ride.“ She explained. Ava laughed.
“He said he left you three notes. How did you miss them all?“ She asked.
He locked his car, hiding the key in a little hidden compartment on the outside of the car so nobody would steal it. He walked into the school, walking down the halls he saw Zara talking to her friend. He sighed and turned around, and was greeted by four guys standing in front of him with a devious smile.
"Excuse me, i need to get to class. If you would move that you be great"
He says with a blank face, trying not to act scared. He knew despite his efforts they were gonna pummel him.
(Let's just….add a tad bit of drama here XD)
(Yes!!! Do you want to be them or me?)
Zara looked up when hearing Irens voice and almost audibly growled when she saw the guys. They were the biggest assholes and used to pick on her. Not anymore of course but they mainly bullied kids that were classified as ´nerds´ or ´weak´ to get off at the feeling of being power. It made she was to take a f#@%ing axe to there b@!!$.
(XD you can if you want. Since my characters the one being bullied yea know)
He stepped away a little bit, taking a deep shaky breath. Bracing himself to be dragged to the locker rooms.
(Sorry it's short, I'm kinda busy arm)
The guys closed in around Iren. One of the guys grabbed his hair and used it to push him into the locker. "You´re the new kid, right? Where your money?" One of them asked.
Zara pushed off the wall she was leaning on and headed over to them.
